I have built some system with two hard disks. One has root and swap partitions,
the other has home partion. I need to migrate this to a device which can only fit
one hard drive. So suppose I have 160 GB and 300 GB disks and need to put them on
500 GB (or larger). Can I clone root then swap, same size then run clonezilla again
taking home from the second disk, and expanding it to fill remainder of target disk?
The root and home are ext3 partitions.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
By default Clonezilla won't do that. However, it's possible you can:
1. Create the partition table on 500 GB disk manually.
2. Use the partition cloning function to clone the partitions from 160 GB and 300 GB disks, and later manually edit the root partition's /etc/fstab if it's required.
Good luck.
Steven.
